Transcorp International and Tide, the UK's leading SME-focused business financial platform, have launched India's first recycled (rPVC) Rupay card, along with MCT Cards & Technology and NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India).
The move reinforces Tide’s commitment to becoming a more sustainable company, including its pledge to make reaching Net Zero simpler for its members (customers) in India, and globally. Made from 99% recycled plastic, this is the first such move by a fintech company in India. Each rPVC card will save 7g of carbon and save 3.18g of plastic, which would ordinarily be used in the production of a new card made with virgin PVC.
The cards will go through an open loop recycling process, which means that old products are transformed into new ones, reducing industrial plastic waste. The material used for production of Tide rPVC cards is approved by global testing agencies including market leader Intertek, and is also compliant with GRS 4.0 (Global recycled standard). All the cards are tested for parameters like Ink Adhesion/Wrappage/Bending/Stress Test and are compliant with ISO standards, they also undergo a CIPET2 certification. The cards will carry the sustainability badge on the reverse side, educating the customer that the card is made of recycled plastic.
Transcorp International is engaged in offering services like Money changing, Money transfer, Tours & travel and Rent-a-car.
